Fallon may make history in City’s European return

Cork City could make football history as the first club to have a female first team coach for a Europa League tie when they return to European action later this summer. Caretaker manager John Cotter got his tenure off to an impressive start after stepping up from assistant to replace John Caulfield, with a 1-0 SSE Airtricity Premier Division win over Bohemians last Friday.

But City’s Europa League first round tie in July may force a temporary switch to comply with Uefa rules.
